Beggar(S)

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Aug 30, 2017

When Martin Luther died, they found a piece of paper in his pocket that read: "This is true. We are beggars." He is right. Before God, we are beggars, like the Canaanite woman.

There is something about a sibling that can bring out the worst in us. We might not mind losing, but when it is to a brother or sister, then it’s an entirely different story. We might become more competitive than we normally are. Our patience can seem to be even less with them. They also seem ...read more

Happiness In Mourning...say What? Series

Contributed by Chip Monck on Feb 26, 2008

The Beatitudes paint a counter-culture picture of the character of a Christian. Blessing is found in poverty of spirit, and in mourning. Doesn’t seem possible, but it’s a truth that Jesus taught in His Sermon on the Mount.

Here we go. The Sermon on the Mount covers three chapters in the book of Matthew. Chapters five through seven. In chapter five Jesus teaches us about the? Law of God. Chapter six is about living in the? Presence of God. And Chapter seven will walk us through the? Judgment of God. But ...read more

This messianic psalm is a psalm in which David, at a time in his life that was dark and seemed to be hopeless, cried on the Lord for deliverance and received it. David also, as a prophet, speaks of the Lord's suffering, death, and resurrection.

No matter what their emotions and attitudes were, they approached their God with their concerns. We see psalms of praise glorifying the Lord for who He is and what He has done ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 14, 2022

In the OT, the "sons of God" are God's heavenly family, given authority over the nations of the earth (Deuteronomy 32:8-9). An introduction to who they are, and where they went wrong.

Contributed by Christabel N. Onuoha on Jul 26, 2025

When you consider our topic, it is a prayer and not an instruction or a commandment. it reveals the critical need element in all of us and the desperate state of human depravity without the Savior and without divine help because we all need help.

I first preached this message in 2006, five unique variations in five different services.
